Kylar, still wearing the suit stolen from the SIU guards, held an unconscious woman in his arms. He had been moving north for nearly an hour already, a slow steady march in the suit, when he saw a flicker of movement coming from the girl. The marching stopped as he slowly set down the girl carefully taking a few steps back as to not be lumbering over her when she first awoke. He wasn't sure who she was, but given her appearance after the incidents and her inclusion in the call she must have been of some importance. If not for the threatening blackness that had surrounded her when he first found her collapsed, he would have been less on edge. Something about the girl still made him uneasy, a feeling that her aura gave off.
Kylar readied one of the rifles aiming it at the slowly waking woman. He waited until she opened her eyes and spoke so that she understood the situation, "Hello there. I'm going to have to ask that you don't make any sudden movements. I don't want to shoot, but I will if you make me."

Delilah stirred, opening her eyes suddenly and moved her head to look at the soldier, armored and pointing a gun at her. She sat up slowly. Looking at him, her eyes narrowed for a moment then widened back in surprise. Looking down at her hands, she was trying to use her ability but nothing came [Plague: Locked/Contested]. Delilah's face became stern with anger as she slid her eyes to the man. She moved a hand suddenly toward him, holding it out as she glared at him, the gun jamming and Kylar would begin to feel an overwhelming sense of despair. [Jinx: 24 hours & Chaotic Nature: Despair, 1 hour] "Stay a-away from m-me!" she exclaimed softly, pushing herself to a stand and taking a few steps back from him.

The gun was jammed, but that fact went unnoticed as he lowered the gun noting her fear. Being afraid was good, it meant that she wasn't as cocky as he was and could likely be reasoned with. A sadness crept into the edge of his thoughts as Kage began to whine in the back of his mind, the crying nonsensical and ignored as something pressed against his mind. The weapon now lowered he took a step forward extending a hand to Delilah to help her up as he spoke, "I mean you no harm, but I'll need you to stop playing with my head." Sensing hesitation from the other Meta he released the weapon kneeling down and removing the helmet. He looked her in the eyes and offered a proper greeting trying to calm her, "I'm Kylar Gatt, sorry about all this but you did show up where SIU was and then collapsed. I know that you're from Sanctuary, but given their infiltration by SIU I had to be sure. If you're afraid of their armor then you probably aren't with them. I am curious about why you were at the hotel after the meeting however." While he was talking an egg suddenly fell from the sky crashing on Kylars exposed head. He looked up to the sky seeing a lone bird passing overhead, what were the chances of that?

She watched him kneel and remove his helmet, blinking in confusion and annoyance. She moved to open her mouth to speak but then stopped. Too many things to pick apart in his statements, most of them highly likely infallacies as she began to move away from him a bit further, keeping her distance. She then pulled out her cell phone and took a picture of him and typed something into the phone. "I... don't kn-know you... " she stated calmly then dialed a number and pulled the phone to her ear, letting it ring as she waited for an answer. "...Wh-where did you t-take me?..." she looked around to try to find landmarks as they were obviously not in any city, it looked like in between. She glared down at him as she tried to figure out what to do next. "...I was l-looking for s-someone.."

Kylar, still distracted by the egg in his hair, was trying to get the goop out of his beautiful locks. After a few minutes of failing to get it all out, he gave up returning his attention to Delilah. He noticed the cellphone only after she was making the call, the picture and message taken without issue. Then came her question while she called, where was she. He looked around, they didn't seem to be anywhere of importance so there was nothing to go off of. After some internal thought he finally answered, "We are likely a bit over an hours walk North of Aldas. I was debating on taking you back to sanctuary, but I can't trust the people there." He watched her, waiting for her to get an answer on the phone, if she had someone coming to get her maybe he could just leave. It's not like she asked for his help, she wasn't his problem. Continuing with small talk while her phone rang, he asked. "Who were you looking for, someone in the Hotel?"

"an hour? f-from Aldas??" she spoke in a bit of frustration. She was about to open her mouth to retort about how he seemed to be infantilizing her. He obviously didn't know who she was and what she capable of. Okay, maybe in hindsight, pretty much nobody knew her since she holed herself up in the sanctuary for 20 years alone. Suddenly, a voice answered the call she was placing. "Y-yes. I'm f-fine. He wasn't th-there... I mean... h-he demolished the h-hotel.." she paused looking at the man before her and turned away from him slightly, but kept an eye on him. "...s-some stranger f-found me. M-man in an SIU s-suit. Wh-who is suggesting h-he's not w-with them. S-says sanctuary isn't s-safe... C-caught taking m-me an hour n-north of Aldas. K-keeps asking me who I-I'm looking for as i-if I was n-never taught s-stranger danger." she sighed, "Y-yes, I'm aware, R-rhun." she eyeballed Kylar once more. "K-kylar Gatt. P-pointed a g-gun at me... l-looks like a sh-shadow. Likely a m-meta." She then shifted her eyes behind him. "C-can you find o-out where he is? I-I'm heading b-back to Aldas." she spoke then hung up the phone. "M-my name is D-delilah... Th-thank you Mr. G-gatt for... wh-whatever it is y-you feel you d-did for me." she commented then turned to walk away. She had already been piecing the puzzle together about this Kylar fellow when she stopped for a brief moment, thinking, then continued walking. She didn't like where it added up, and risked the chance to leave now before anything could turn into a bad situation for her.

Kylar listened to the phone call, a tinge of worry appearing on his face as she said the person who demolished the building wasn't there. Michael, the man that had been like a father to Kylar was who she was looking for. He replaced the helmet and picked up his weapon following after her as she tried to leave. He asked a question, his voice now cold and serious, "What are you doing looking for Michael, Delilah?" within the suit his own power rose up slightly as he pushed himself. Eyes focused upon her he used his influence against her as he spoke, "Answer me and tell the truth." (Unlock, Unlocked Truth 4) He raised the backup rifle to her back awaiting an answer, hoping for her sake he liked the answer. Michael was family and if she and this Rhun person were a threat to him then they wouldn't be for much longer.

Delilah immediately noticed him begin to follow her. Fear and anger building within her as she walked faster, only to her have her pace matched. He asked her about Michael, his voice enough to give her a bad feeling in all this. "L-leave me a-alone. Only w-warning." she warned, but then she felt him push towards her mind and she turned on her heel suddenly, noticing the raised gun, as she clenched her teeth. "You w-will not h-halt me from f-finding Michael!" she commanded angrily, waving her hand towards him as her eyes narrowed. [Chaos Control: Lose Control 10 min / Mental Resistance Contested] She then continued to take steps away from him, still facing him as she backed up. She wasn't going to take her chances in staying so close. Right about now was where she wished she could fly, then she could just fly back to Aldas instead of being forced to walk an hour back. "S-stay away f-from me!" she demanded, eyes glaring at him.

"L-leave me a-alone. Only w-warning."
Kylar stared at her in disbelief as he cursed inside of his head, 'Damnit, are all Metas able to shrug off influence?' It seemed every time he met a new meta he couldn't use his abilities on them without first lowering their defenses, this was something he would have to remember for the future to avoid situations like these. If it wasn't for the lack of time as she turned towards him, he would have attempted again after sealing her defenses. Panicked he tightened his grip on the rifle prepared to fire if she attacked.
"You w-will not h-halt me from f-finding Michael!"
Her words struck a cord in him, there was no doubt she was after Michael. Before it had been only an assumption based on what she said, but now that it was certain he couldn't just let her chase after him. His voice came out clearly upset as he called out, "I won't let you hurt my Uncle. Sanctuary or not, no one threatens my family." Obviously this was all just one big misunderstanding, but how was he to know that. After these last few weeks Michael was a wanted man and what better way for Sanctuary to try and earn some brownie points than to turn over the man who threatened war at the meeting.
A hand rose towards him as Kylar pulled the trigger knowing better than to underestimate a Meta he knew nothing about, however the gun was still jammed from earlier. He pulled the trigger again and nothing happened as her power began to take effect.(Chaos - Sealing Failing) The lock on his own traits began to weaken, panic filling his voice as he called out, "s**t, s**t... What have you done... Ohh god, no..." Inside of the suit the Tattoos covering his body peeled away from the skin coming to life. They danced becoming shadows that covered his flesh as a feeling of dread began to fill the area. The feeling in the area changed as he took in a deep breath throwing the gun off to the side. He reached for one of the many keys on his person attempting to change it into a blade. (Chaos - Repression 2)
Things became very confusing for a moment as he stood up strait looking at Delilah. Who was this woman, why was she attacking him? Self realization came back after just a moment, his intimidation was in full effect. He didn't know who this woman was, but he knew that she was the enemy. The way his vision kept faltering played tricks on him, the Aura shifting violently around her at least in appearance. His powers weren't working, this girl was like him and the child Hexxis, able to shut down powers. Anger set in as he tore off the helmet hurling it away as the visor was only affecting his vision even more. He removed a key from his neck, a safeguard he had created after meeting Hexxis should he ever face someone else like them. (Relic Sword - Single Use) A single image filled his thoughts as he grasped the key with both hands, the largest sword he could picture. The blade grew from his hands as the grip took shape, roughly five feet of steel taking shape as he grinned a devilish smile as he spoke, "I don't know who you are, but you chose the wrong guy to ******** with. I'm going to enjoy this." He laughed, all of his former composure gone as he rushed forward. The large blade tore through the ground as he moved only adding to the intimidating appearance of someone in the SIU Power Suit rushing forward as they dragged a blade nearly as tall as themselves.

She analyzed his words quickly. Michael never mentioned Kate having a son. No, she was a succubus, she knew that. The pieces didn't line up and that only angered her more that he could think she'd fall for that. Regardless, she knew all too much of this situation and knowing he knew far too much to be what he was saying. He watched him pull the gun up to shoot her, the gun clicking into a jam as her eyes widened in fear. In that moment, she scrambled to pull up her phone, managing to type out "silver omega" as he seemed to panic and the dread in the air increased immensely. Terror setting in as her mind raced. "..d-dynamic energy e-equals half of the m-mass of an object t-times the velocity of t-the object.." she rambled off as she looked down at her phone as she dropped it and kicked it as hard as she could, aiming perfectly for his face and used that chance to turn and run as fast as she could away from him. "Y-you're insane!!!" she screamed as she ran, just trying to put as much distance between him and herself. That blade would likely be her demise if he came close enough to hit her with it, so she couldn't take the chance of getting to close when she still had the chance to run.

Kylar continued to rush forward, making no attempt to dodge the phone as it shouldn't hurt him. Someone forgot to remind Kylar it was his unlucky day however. The phone caught him in the eye, wrenching his head to the side for a moment. After recovering from the sudden pain, he raised the sword to his shoulder and knelt down before breaking into a full sprint. His voice called out after Delilah, taunting as he gained. "You can run all you want, but there is nowhere to hide!" Little by little the gap between them closed, but this was taking way to long. Kylar examined the distance between them before activating something on the suit as he continued to give chase. (Stun Blast) A wave of energy burst from the suit moving much faster than Delilah could. The energy struck her, convulsing withing her body as Kylar finally caught up, the large two handed sword coming down with all the force he could muster from behind.

Delilah was running as fast as she could, but it would only do so good as a shockwave of electricity hit her from behind, causing her body to seize up and she screamed out in pain, her muscles convulsing. She inhaled sharply as it took a few moments to regain any form of control of her body as she stumbled forward, trying to run again. But she could only take a few steps forward before a hot sting scraped down her back, the sharp blade opening flesh all the way down her back. A deep enough gash that threw her to her hands and knees on the floor. Her hands shaking as blood soaked into the back of her dress.
I wish I could protect you...
She closed her eyes tightly, trying to think of what to do. Could she even win without the only ability she could ever rely on? Tears were welling up in her eyes as she choked back a sob. Reaching up a shaky hand to her face mask, she ripped it off her face and returned her hand to the ground below her, barely holding herself up.

Kylar looked down at the bloody woman grinning, her terrified appearance giving him great pleasure. He began to speak, "I hope you've made your peace." He raised the large two handed blade above his head, standing over Delilah. Perhaps a side effect of her constant running that wore down the clock or the bad luck she had given him, he suddenly paused. In his head another voice wrestled for control, 'Don't you dare, Kylar. She's not our enemy, look how scared she is.' The sword began to come down on her as the voice was ignored, a loud shout escaping his lips as Kage became the active consciousness, Kylar no longer in control himself and unable to contest. "No! I said don't hurt her!" The sword stopped abruptly, crumbling as Kage released it, the magic that held it together collapsing. Enough time had elapsed from the senseless running that when Kage attempted to pull back the shadows across his body, there was little to no resistance as he sealed his intimidation within his own body. (Sealing)
Kage took the moment to try and speak with Delilah, using the time he was in control to put Kylar at ease before he regained himself and took over once more becoming violent again. He reached down touching the sobbing woman, his power flowing through her gently as he locked away the part of her mind that resisted him (Sealing), something he was not able to quickly identify thanks to Ree and Andy. His magic and voice seemed soothing as he attempted to calm her (Open your Heart), "Don't worry, I won't hurt you again. That was an accident, I lost control and couldn't help myself.' He pressed deeper trying to calm her before repeating his question from earlier (Unlocked Truth), "What do you want with my uncle Michael?

Delilah struggled, losing quite a bit of blood now. She heard him scream, a contesting voice. A mane maybe? No, that's not how that worked. Maybe a malice, but it was doubtful. Time was passing as the man was regaining composure, though it wasn't enough to put her at ease as she pushed herself to a shaky stand. He began to touch her, smacking his hand away reflexively. "D-don't touch m-me!.... d-don't.. it's d-dangerous.." she was starting to feel a deep sense of ... emotion. It was only making her worry, activating a dull sense of panic as she backed away from him. "..j-just stay b-back.... i d-don't know if it w-will come... I d-don't.... i d-don't want to l-lose control...... e-even if you're a l-lunatic... I'm n-not one to k-kill someone...." she tried to explain in a stammer, her stutter only made worse by her unsettled nature. "S-stop calling him th-that... Kate is a s-succubus... and a-also younger.... Th-there's no w-way he'd let a-anyone get that cl-close to her to h-have a kid..." she looked him over for a second before taking another couple steps back as precaution of his own protection. She stumbled a bit, wincing at the pain she felt, her breath heavy. "...M-michael.. is just s-someone very i-important to m-me..." she averted her eyes for a brief moment, dodging the question out of embarrassment. "...I... w-want to m-make sure h-he's okay..... I s-saw what h-happened..."

Kage watched as she pulled away, worried for his own safety even after he had hurt her. It was strange, but given where she was from not unexpected. Sanctuary was supposed to be a safe place for Metas, regardless of who they were. He looked at her confused for a moment before asking her a question, "That black aura of yours? If you're afraid of that coming out then you don't have to worry, I turned that off back at the hotel." He looked around for a moment thinking before he spoke again, "Assuming you've been trying to use it since you first awoke I say you have maybe another five minutes or so before you even can." He grinned, but nothing sinister this time as he told her that information. He listened to her the rest of what she had to say, not showing hostility before it was needed as Kylar had. It was true Kate was a succubus and to young to have a child of her own, but circumstances don't always lead to things that make sense.
Kage laughed as she mentioned that she was simply worried about Michael. This had been a big misunderstanding, one that nearly ended in death because Kylar couldn't control his temper. The thought made him smile as it was funny that he would be criticizing anyone for lack of control. He had caused a huge mess when he threw a fit at SIU and Kylar was simply his true self with oall of the life experiences he had forgotten for a time. Of course one wasn't better than the other, they were two sides of the same coin. He held his phone out to Delilah as he spoke again, "Call this Rhun, he can confirm my story. Also if you're willing to stop fighting me, I might actually be able to get in contact with Michael. I think I know Zaku's phone number."
